Plans call for the event to run from 10 a.m. until 2 p.m.

MassHousing partners with 150 lenders that originate MassHousing’s suite of fixed-rate home mortgage loans for income-eligible home buyers. These loans have low down payment options and competitive interest rates.

One product is designed for borrowers who put less than 20 percent down on a home. They can receive MassHousing’s MI Plus, an enhanced mortgage insurance policy that helps pay the borrower’s mortgage for up to six months in the event they lose their job, the agency said.
